After fresh installation now I can't update

I had a problem with the main UI being totally greyed out. Upon re-installation now no updates since September 10th!
Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.

Hi,

Are you referring to the application or virus definitions update?
Do you have Avast Free or Premium and which version?
Can you please also attach a screenshot of the “Updates” you are referring to?
Please see this article on how to generate a screenshot. https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Create-screenshot

It’s free edition
the definitions.
It just hangs there.
Thanks.
